Dakota turned 8 years old on August 30th, and had 8 molars & other teeth to be extracted under anesthetic, etc. At the time my small home improvement [business] was doing well, so I told his vet, Dr Lori, that I could make bi-weekly payments.

But a few weeks after that, for too many reasons to go into here, my crew’s personal problems became my problem, and in turn became Dakota’s when I ran out of all savings & income beyond the basics.

As I approach 74 [years old next] February, I never imagined I’d have the problems I’m having, but I’m NOT complaining: it’s sad that Dakota has to suffer as a consequence.

Dr Lori agreed, and went ahead ‘on trust’.

The procedures were successful, but I’m not able to pay down the remainder of his bill. I no longer have credit cards, only debit & cash, not yet in bankruptcy. This is my only attempt to source funds outside of my friends [all my adult children are working stiffs], and it was suggested by an Internet friend.

Today we got a notice from Dr Lori that in 14 days she’ll turn over our account to a bill collector, which is truly tragic. She’s been AMAZING for both Teddy [deceased] and now Dakota, as it will steal 50% of what she earned.

For those of you w/doubts. google or cluuz ‘joseph e fasciani’ and see what comes up.

THANK ALL OF YOU!
